This is a massive undertaking the way the situation is right now. It seems to me that the Java Media Framework is completely unsupported, and that I would have to invest a serius amount of time into this in order to get it working. I have tried and failed. The only thing I was able to produce that actually worked, apart from .mov files, were really big .avi files (DVD-sized video or even bigger, with the exact same quality as the smaller .mov file.
If someone knows a way to make this work in a good way, any help is appreciated. If someone can just point me in the direction of any codecs that actually work, apart from the one's I use, I would be very grateful.
Until then, the films can be re-coded into many different formats using different currently available video tools such as RAD video tools, VirtualDub, and probably even VideoLAN VLC (VirtualDub does not currently take the files produced by KRUT directly as input, but if you have already converted your file into e.g. .avi, VirtualDub can be used to re-compress your file).

Hi Jonas
I am not sure if you are still interested in developing this program or make it better.
I am not sure how you get the screen capture into the movie file but as for pointing you out in a direction in compression and formats I would suggest to implement ffmpeg into your app. There is a lot of free ffmpeg wrappers available on the net and I see one for java as well. In my opinion ffmpeg command line tool is one of the best video converters and it have also capture abilities either with gdigrab or directshow virtual drivers. I am not a programmer but I saw some code in different languages. I am sure with a little bit of research you would be able to use your version of screen recorder and implement a very nice open source java screen recorder with on the fly video conversion to most modern codecs. ffmpeg support h264 conversion which is the most up to date modern video codec.
I just give you my suggestion
Thank you

Lately a lot of free and very effective alternatives to Krut have popped up, so we haven't put any additional effort into development and new features.
Unless we find some volunteer I fear we won't have chance to add ffmpeg encoding features to the software.
